I knew about iaido, generally you can almost hear a pin drop at the taikais, but for kendo I've always seen people cheering. I have seen people get reprimanded for coaching but never cheering. Interestingly enough though someone was cheering during a recent finals match and the shushin said something, the person quieted down fast, it was in japanese so I have no idea what was said.
